Do any of you experience rude behaviors from consultant Managers? Like they just Scoff and walk away while you try to explain something to them?

Or they’re super nice to you when no-one else is around, but once they’re hanging out with other consultants, they act like you don’t exist. Guess some of my PAMs are only super nice to me when they’re engaging 1:1 and need something from me. Don’t lose sleep over it because I know my worth, but it does not go unnoticed.

Yep. Had the worst meeting of my career last year with an M who was so awful (rude, unprofessional, combative, dismissive), I went to my leader because I felt my job got threatened. Turned out there were much bigger issues at play and I was caught in the drama, but it was a very gross feeling.

Oh yeah all the time. Honestly, some other internal teams too can be terrible. I try to just ignore it but sometimes I need to vent to a colleague. What happened OP?

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Confronting colleagues? Yes or no ? On a side note, any book recommendations for handling workplace situations

Did first set of redlines for a partner. Have ten years experience doing what this partner does but I am new to working with him. Said I did about a 7 out of 10 on that job.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
